The United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has just published the first issue of Inventors Eye, a new electronic publication for and about America’s independent and small entity inventor community.

Inventors Eye will appear every other month. Each issue is expected to feature tips on working with the USPTO; events, organizations and meetings of interest to the community; issues that impact independent and small entity inventors; and stories about people who have become successful inventors.

Bill’s the former intellectual property sparkplug at Hewlett Packard who produces “Invention-in-a-Box” workshops.
